Today is a short, fun, behind-the-scenes episode where we’re taking you back to the VERY unglamorous beginning of Financial Coaching for Women. 😂🎙️

If you’ve ever wondered how you even found us, why this show feels so “meant to be,” or what it looked like before we had any clue what we were doing… this one’s for you.

In this episode, we cover:

1. The moment Shana accidentally started a podcast (yes, on purpose… but also not) 😳
2. Vanessa’s reaction: “How do you accidentally start a podcast?!”
3. Our first “studio”: a garage + yoga mats + blankets + towels
4. The umbrella era… because we thought it would stop sound waves 🫠
5. Why people tell us, “I feel like God led me to your podcast” and why we fully agree
6. The pivot point when we realized: “Oh… this podcast could actually be a thing”
7. How we went from 3,000 plays to 1.5 million plays and 500+ episodes later

Want the behind-the-scenes and the blueprint?
